I love convertibles here in sunny South Florida. And, I love performance cars. Sometimes the two don't mix, sometimes they do. I certainly can't afford a new convertible sports car, like a Camaro SS or Mustang GT. Not to mention an exotic like BMW or Porsche.
However, the Z4M's seem to be selling for the low 20's with modest miles (about 50-60K miles) and about 28K with low miles.
I drove one 2 years ago, and it seemed doggy, so I did not purchase it. Come to find out (yes, I'm as dumb as a box of rocks sometimes) it was not in sport mode and is known to be sluggish in normal mode.
Drove an M3 convertible in sport mode, last week and loved it. What a willing and fun little engine. The Z4M is much the same car, but smaller and lighter. The Z4M should be very fun in sport mode. They can do similar lap times to the C6 Corvette LS3's. Even though they are just a bit down on straightaway power on the track. But are a nearly a full second and 10MPH down at the 1/4 mile track.
Any thoughts on the car?
I do read about connecting rod bearing failures and Vanos cam phaser bolt and solenoid failures.
